Abstract;1,2-Bis(2,4-dimethyl-5-phenyl-3-thienyl)perfluorocyclopentene was found to form an amorphous state in bulk by introducing diphenylamino substituents at both ends of the molecule. The glass transition temperature was as high as 103.DEG.C.. The amorphous film exhibited reversible color and refractive index changes by alternate irradiation with ultraviolet and visible light.
